The Arch at Carborca Mission. Completed in 1809 by the same master who built San Xavier del Bac in Arizona, this lovely stone church has suffered from flooding twice in the present century. The floods of 1994 removed the recently restored convent wing and slightly damaged the apse of the church itself.

Oblique view of the Caborca Mission. The church stands in a plaza dedicated to the heroism of the Caborcans who defended their village in April, 1857, against members of Henry Alexander Crabb's filibustering expedition. The arch in front of the church is from the graveyard of the mission church at Batuc, Sonora, and was brought to Caborca when that mountain community was submerged under the waters of a man-made lake.
